This Scientific American anthology brings together stunning Milky Way discoveries from the past decade. Leading scientists explain how our galaxy formed, how it continues to evolve, and why only part of it is habitable. Other articles hone in on particular Milky Way elements such as our paradoxical Sun, cosmic dust, and the dynamic interstellar medium, as well as astronomers' efforts to peer beyond our galaxy.
